ln the accompanying drawings the nu'- meral 4 indicates a brassire, aportion only of which is shown and which may be constructed of anysuitable material, preferably of coarse net. This garment has shields ofany ordinary form and construction attached to it, and my inventionrelates particularly to such means for attaching the shields as willenable them to bereadily placed in dierent positions. rlhe shield ispassed over the arm hole 7 vand located with one lobe 5 against theinner surface of the garment and the other lobe 6 against the outersurface of the garment in the ordinary manner.
